"Red coral is rarer, but white coral is more elegant when I look at it. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info" Zhao Yan looked at the white coral bonsai on the Nabogu shelf and nodded with satisfaction.

Suddenly, he saw an old scroll on the warped head table next to the Bogu shelf, Zhao Yan was curious, so he opened it and took a look, "This is...... Who gave Dong Qichang's treasure inkstone handscroll?" because I know that my cousin doesn't have such a thing.

Kangxi has always admired Dong Qichang's characters, not only practiced by himself, but also learned Dong Ti characters in the Shang study. Because of the emperor's admiration, Dong Qichang's ink treasure is definitely priceless!

"Oh, that......" Concubine Shu's expression was very indifferent, "It was sent by Concubine De this morning." ”

"Concubine De?!" Zhao Yan was a little surprised, "How could she have Dong Qichang's handscroll?" - Concubine De is not an elegant person, and what she likes in Su Ri is naturally precious jade jewelry.

Concubine Shu laughed: "It was said that it was rewarded by the emperor, and he borrowed flowers to offer Buddha and gave it to me as a congratulatory gift for the concubine." ”

Zhao Yan listened more and more suspiciously.

Bai Tan hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Niangniang, the slave has heard that Concubine De has been practicing Dong Ti characters hard recently, and she has to use up two tributes every day." ”

Zhao Yan couldn't help laughing: "At this age, I started to be angry and strong, don't you think it's too late?

Concubine Shu pursed her lips, "I see, Concubine De is afraid that you are favored because you are familiar with literature and ink, so you have to work this." ”

Zhao Yan was speechless for a moment, of course, she often discussed poetry and painting with Kangxi, but she was not the only one in the palace who had talented concubines. The late Emperor Tong also read the Four Books and Five Classics, but she didn't see Kangxi like her!

Concubine Shu snorted disdainfully, "Even if she is asked to read for another hundred years, she will not be able to catch up with Yan'er!

Seeing her cousin's proud look, Zhao Yan was embarrassed: "Ahem!" Not to mention that the poem was okay, as soon as she said it, she felt that her face was hot.

"I think that Concubine De practiced Dong Ti calligraphy hard, just to attract the emperor's attention, isn't this treasure inkstone book the emperor rewarded her?" - In the ability to please Kangxi, Concubine De is really not inferior to anyone in the six palaces.

"Sister, then what are you going to do?" Concubine Shu stared at Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan shrugged her shoulders, "There is no need to deal with it, if she calculates less people and spends her mind on pleasing the emperor, I will be relieved!" - Concubine De is no longer young, if she pleases Kangxi again, can Kangxi still sleep with her? At most, go to Yonghe Palace to visit the fourteenth elder brother, or give Concubine De more rewards.

The handscroll of Dong Qichang was still taken away by Zhao Yan, and Zhao Yan hung it directly on the east wall of his study.

Dong Tizi is indeed good, elegant, ethereal, self-sufficient, and has the beauty of "Yan Gu Zhao Zi". It is not unreasonable for Kangxi to respect Dong Tizi.

was admiring this painting, and Kangxi came.

"Eh, isn't this "Bao Yan", why did it come to you?" Kangxi was full of doubts.

Zhao Yan smiled: "It was Concubine De who gave it to my cousin as a congratulatory gift, I went to Jingyang Palace to see it, and I thought it was good, so I asked for it." After a brief explanation, Zhao Yan raised her eyes and glanced at Kangxi in a unique manner: "I heard that this is what you specially rewarded Concubine De?"

Kangxi laughed, he leaned closer and took a deep breath at the corner of Zhao Yan's mouth, "I can smell the sourness!"

Zhao Yan glanced at him with disgust, "I haven't seen you for a few days, Concubine De has become a graceful person, and in a few days, I'm afraid I'm going to become a talented girl!"

Kangxi shook his head helplessly: "It's just that a few days ago, Concubine De said that she wanted to write a word, so she begged me to reward a volume of Dong Qichang's ink treasure, and she pleaded so much, I rewarded her with a pair." ”

Zhao Yan let out an "oh", "Then why didn't she keep the copy for herself, and turn her head and give it away so happily?"

Kangxi smiled and said, "It's not because of An Concubine...... Well, did Concubine Shu and Concubine De have some quarrels before, so Concubine De specially gave Concubine Shu the ink treasure I rewarded, wanting to resolve the discord. ”

"Oh, so that's the case......" Zhao Yan's eyelids drooped slightly, the discord between Concubine De and her cousin was indeed no secret in the palace, especially that day in Cining Palace, in front of the Queen Mother, Concubine De strongly opposed her cousin's addition to the title of Concubine Shu. At that time, Concubine Hui, Concubine Rong, and Concubine Yi all saw it in their eyes, how could they be tight-lipped? Sooner or later, this matter will reach Kangxi's ears.

If Concubine De wants to show people with a gentle and kind face, how can she be discordant with the concubines of the Sixth Palace? If her cousin is not on good terms with Concubine De in the future, it will not be Concubine De's problem, but also that her cousin is narrow-minded and calculating.

This Concubine De! I really can't underestimate her means!

"In that case, I took away this book, will Concubine De feel uncomfortable?" Zhao Yan asked with an eyebrow.

Kangxi smiled and said: "How can this be? Since Concubine De has given it to Concubine Shu, who does Concubine Shu want to give it to, that is her freedom." What's more, I see, Concubine Shu doesn't like Dong Tizi very much, and it's a pity to give her things, so it's just right for Concubine to keep it. ”

Yes, my cousin prefers willow characters.

Zhao Yan smiled: "In that case, then I will hand-copy a volume of female commandments and give it to Concubine De, which can be regarded as a return gift." In fact, what she hates the most is the female commandment. However, copying this thing and giving it away has the intention of warning the other party to keep the woman's virtue. Therefore, knocking Concubine De also saves her from always putting her eyes on her cousin!

"Okay, whatever you want. Kangxi nodded, but he didn't care at all.

Zhao Yan spent three days very seriously, and carefully copied the full text of the female commandment, which can be said to be neat and neat, which can be called a model level, and even Zhao Yan herself is very satisfied.

said that it was given to Concubine De, but Zhao Yan was naturally not interested in politely sending it to Yonghe Palace, but called Concubine De to Zhongcui Palace and handed it over to her in person.

Zhao Yan rashly reported that Concubine De was naturally full of vigilance, but Zhao Yan was the imperial concubine who was in charge of the affairs of the Six Palaces, and said that she had something important to ask her to go to Zhongcui Palace to discuss, and Concubine De naturally couldn't help but go.

Entering the study room of the main hall of Zhongcui Palace, Concubine De cautiously asked for peace: "The imperial concubine is blessed with gold." ”

Zhao Yan raised her eyelids and glanced at Concubine De: "I heard that Concubine De has been busy practicing calligraphy recently, so it must be quite effective, right?"

Concubine De didn't know Zhao's intentions, so she said modestly: "The concubine is stupid, but she is just making up for her clumsiness with diligence, and she just wants to be able to write it properly." ”

Zhao Yan smiled: "The word 'diligence' is the most rare. Concubine De is so diligent, and the palace asks herself to write quite well, deliberately transcribe a volume of female commandments, and give it to Concubine De, if Concubine De does not dislike it, take this as a copybook to copy it. ”

Hearing this, Concubine De's humble face suddenly stiffened a little, "What does Imperial Concubine Niangniang mean by this?"

Zhao Yan smiled like a flower: "This palace is naturally well-intentioned! Just like Concubine De gave "Bao Yanhe" to Concubine Shu, it is the same intention!"

I saw that Bai Tan had already picked up the "Female Commandment" that had just been copied, and held it in front of Concubine De with a smile. Concubine De stiffened her face, looked at the exquisitely written female commandment, and said: "The imperial concubine's kindness, the concubine understands it! The concubine has a notebook there to copy, and the female commandment copied by the imperial concubine herself, you should keep it for yourself!"

"Oh, are you sure you don't?" Zhao Yan smiled as she raised the corners of her lips.
